Mustafa made our excursion to the Atlas Mountains very enjoyable. He was friendly, courteous and concerned that we were enjoying ourselves, which we were. He took us to a delightful and tasty restaurant with a stunning view. Highly recommended!
We had an amazing experience on this tour. It was truly an authentic Moroccan experience. Mohammed was exceptional, sharing insights into Morocan history. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an enriching adventure! (5 stars +)
The guide tried to entertain our group during the tour and took care about group members helping those who could not move fast. We booked this tour because the description said that a visit to the Berber market was included on Tuesdays. Well, it was not included. The tour said it is up to 15 participants. Well, we had 17, barely fitting the bus. Everything else matched the tour description.
We had the tour with Mohamed. He was great! Knowledgeable, funny, accommodating. Great experience for all of us
The tour guide was very knowledgeable. Good communicator and in total a good guy to have around. Mohammed and Adil, went over and beyond just to make sure we were entertained, demostrated their knowledge of the history of Marakech, Morocco, and of course the Berbers and everything to the detail. I was immensely flabagasted by the trail put together by the team, it was a well thought route for the convinience of everyone. The fold provided was perfect I cant thank you enough for such a wonderful experience. I will be back to use you again for other experience. Cheers guys
This trip was one of the best experiences that We ever had in Marrakech. Moha chose the best stops to do during the tour . The places that we visited were amazing and wonderfull, We recommended it, and Moha make us feel so close with my friends :) the views during the lunch were amazing.
Great experience. The competent and multilingual Mohamed guide. Enchanting turn, among other things being a hike Mohamed made us do an alternative route, to get to lunch in a very characteristic nerberà. We were out from 8.30am to 6pm visiting cooperatives of women who produce argan oil, where they offered us tea. And a walk of an hour and a half in the middle of nature. The contrasting colors of the desert are beautiful, from ochre, to green, red and waterways. Seeing Marrakech with other eyes has enriched us, pleasant weather apart from morning and evening.
Great trip. Reply enjoyed ourselves. Good hike, amazing scenery, nice camel ride. Lovely lunch too. Thanks very much.
This was an incredible experience to the Agafay Desert. Mohamed and his crew have all aspects of the tour locked down for everyone to have a fantastic experience. It was a very insightful fully packed day getting to experience another side of the Moroccan and Berber cultures. Definitely worth the price I will recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Morocco/Marrakech area.
The best experience lived on my trip to Marrakech, without a doubt Karim did an excellent job! He is a helpful and dedicated person! I would definitely repeat even if I saw the same thing again! Thank you Karim!
